What a fantastic day was spent on Saturday at the University of Michigan Woman's Football Academy.

Besides over $100,000.00 raised for the Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Missy Caulk TEAM was able to contribute $750.00.

Thank you so much for all my past clients and blogging friends that were able to help us out.

The Schedule

In the mornings after introductions, everyone was divided into teams and each team rotated with a position coach where we learned the stances, and the proper technique's.

After about 15 minutes with each University of Michigan Coach and the players we rotated to the next position.

Before we rotate we would all get in a huddle and raise our hands together. The Coaches would yell, "BEAT" and we would yell back "OHIO"! 

Believe it or not the kicking and the punting were the hardest. Although I did fall flat on my face zig zagging through the cones. Hey the grass was wet.

The Scrimmage

After lunch we got in our assigned teams. My team was coached by Coach Jeff Hecklinski, (Coach Heck) the Wide Receiver Coach.

Our team played against Coach Jerry Montgomery's team, who coaches the Defensive Line. Coach Heck, turned the actual plays over to Roy Roundtree, Wide Receiver and he wanted everyone to go long. Imagine that! 

Coach Heck said the one thing he heard over and over again all day was, "OMG there is Denard!" Next year he suggested they just put Denard in the middle of the field and have everyone line up.

One of the most fun things was running through the tunnel and getting to scrimmage in the the BIG HOUSE.

I really enjoyed spending time with some the coaches wives as Christa and I helped them in  obtaining a home in Ann Arbor.

Well a picture is worth a thousand words, so let the video show you have much fun we had at the U of M Woman's Football Academy.

If you would like to play on our team next year, let me know because I would love to be able to spend the day with you and help raise more money for the Comprehensive Cancer Center.  GO BLUE!

This Saturday is the Annual University of Michigan Womans Football Academy.

This will be the second time I have played, attended it. The first time was in Summer of 2004 and I broke my pinkey finger catching a pass with Lloyd Carr looking on.

I was playing Wide Receiver in the afternoon scrimmage and and I was not suppose to be thrown a pass. It was a running play but the running back got tackled, the QB looked up and saw me open so through me the ball and I caught it. (breaking my finger)

I walked up to my Coach, who at the time was Braylon Edwards, and said, "I think I broke my finger."

"Nah," said Braylon, "Good catch, get back in there."

But, I walked off the field with my finger hanging and went into the locker room, where Paul Schmidt, Athletic Trainer for the Wolverines said, "Missy, get out to Saline Hospital and get an x-ray right away." (Paul is from Saline and knew me from there.) So I did...3 days later I had surgery and wore a halo cast for 3 months.

Now I am playing again!!

But, this time we signed Medical Release Forms. Wonder why?

My husband played QB in high school, and the Marines (anyone remember when the Marines had a team?) and all my 3 sons played in high school. NOT ONE of them ever had a serious injury, but mom goes out one day and OUCH!

Now even though we will have a lot of fun at the Womans U of M Football Camp, it does serve a higher purpse and that is to raise funds for the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center. Since its creation in 1999, the program has helped more than 15,000 cancer patients and their families.

I never have begged asked for support on my Ann Arbor Real Estate Blog, but TODAY I am.

Can you help us raise money for this worthy event by donating to The Missy Caulk TEAM's efforts for U of M Comprehensive Cancer Center?

Christa and I are excited to be helping them out and you know after reading my story about my broken finger I would not be doing this again, if not for a worthy cause.

If you are one of my 2430 friends on Facebook, or 3826 Followers on Twitter...or all my Activerain Friends and Subscribers.

...if eveyone could give $5.00 to $10.00, $50.00 or $100.00 we would be so very grateful.

DONATE HERE Thank you!!

Directions

Where should I live if I want to walk to University of Michigan?

Simple question?

Not so much.

Where are your classes?

What part of campus are you going to be on the most?

University of Michigan is divided into four different area's.

• North Campus
• Central Campus
• Medical Campus
• South Campus.
  

Are you in University of Michigan Medical School?

If you are a student in the College of Engineering, Theatre and Dance, College of Architecture and Urban Planning or the School of Music they are located on the North Campus area.

Central Campus is the location of the College of Literature, Science and the Arts, and is immediately adjacent to the medical campus. Most of the graduate and professional schools, including the Ross School of Business the Law School and the School of Dentistry, are on Central Campus. Two prominent libraries, the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library and the Shapiro Undergraduate Library which are connected by a skywalk, are also on Central Campus, as well as museums housing collections in archaeology, anthropology, paleontology, zoology, dentistry, and art.

The Medical Campus is located between Fuller Road, Observatory and Geddes.

South Campus houses all of the Athletic Departments, the BIG House, Yost Arena, Chrisler Auditiorium. It is also home to the U of M golf course.

When we are asked this question on where to live to walk to classes at University of Michigan it is important to ask where you will be attending classes.

All the campuses are easily accessable by bus services and shuttle services.

There are apartments to rent surrounding the four different area's. There are condo's to rent or purchase as well as single family homes.

In order to steer you in the right direction for walking to University of Michigan we need to find out what part of campus you will be attending classes in.

When Should We Start Looking If We Want to Purchase in_____???

This question is so common I almost hate to blog on it. But, it is asked so often I wanted to share my answer.

In Ann Arbor their are plenty of homes to buy. Purchasing a home is not the problem, selling one is.

In Ann Arbor our typical closings take 30-60 days to close. The majority close in 45 days, that gives your lender time to gather the documents, order the appraisal etc.

If a purchaser wants to be in by June, we advise looking in late March or early April. If they want to be in a home by August in time for school, then we advise starting to look in late May, early June.

If you start looking too soon, and find your dream home, then the chance of a seller waiting over 60 days to close is slim. So you will be disappointed in not being able to purchase the home you will in love with.

My daugher came up with a great rule, she uses with her buyers that many on my team have adopted. It is called THE TALK.

Pick out your Top 10, we will look at all of them. Then we will narrow it down to 3 and go back and look at those 3 again. Then we will write an offer.

Of course this "assumes" they are moving here and need to buy.

For local folks moving up, they can take a longer period as they wait for the home they want to buy to pop up on the Ann Arbor Area MLS for sale.

So what do you tell your buyers in your communities for when to begin their home search?

What is typical?

How long do short sales take in Ann Arbor is a question I get asked quite a bit.

The answer is it depends.

• Depends on the bank…
• Depends if there is two loans…
• Depends if the agent knows what the heck they are doing…

One of the first things we do on the Missy Caulk Team is collect EVERYTHING the bank(s) are going to require UP FRONT.

It is called the “Short Sale Package” and includes, last 2 pay stubs, hardship letter, last 2 years of tax returns, authorization forms and financial work sheet.

Once we have collected this from the sellers, we label each page with the sellers last name, the loan(s) numbers and the last 4 digits of the sellers Social Security numbers. This goes on every single page, because banks are known for loosing them.

Then we wait for the offer to come in. Once it does, we send it off to the bank with the whole Short Sale Package.

After this it is out of our control.

So in answer to your question, "How long do Short Sales take in Ann Arbor?"

It depends.

But, we were prepared and ready to go to do our part in moving the Short Sale Process along.
